True Story.
MTT has a message board. The following was posted in it:
I'm looking for an intermediate team that isn't full of clydesdales...
Are you freaking kidding?
This makes me nuts!
I'm not really a clydesdale, I'm more of a shetland pony. Short legs, long body, big personality. Yup, definitely a pony. And yet, the above statement sets my teeth on edge.
I challenge the person who typed it to defend that statement.
I PRAY that she finds this blog by happenstance.
Aren't there 900 BETTER WAYS TO ASK FOR A NEW TEAM? Like, one strategy, the one I would use - let's e-mail the MTT coaching staff and say, "I need a team that will be running this pace" or "I'm running with a goal to BQ this year." Crazy talk! You could ask for a team assignment without alienating 1100 of the 1200 MTT participants.
There are days when I question what kind of person I am.
I often wonder about myself, am I a pitbull or a poodle?
A FIGHTER or A LAP DOG?
And then I read something like that, and my answer is clear.

Sheesh, sometimes people are just rude! Dude, if I ever need someone at my back, I'm picking you. Just sayin'
WORD.
speechless.... i'd run with a bunch of Clydesdale over her ANY DAY!. Actually, I prefer to run with real people... not rude, ungraceful people.
This clydesdale is going to hunt her down. just saying.
WOW! Thats pretty Guttsy and Mean!!
g...after the week that I have had over here, it does not surprise me what people say and how they say it. People are rude and nuts...I have an idea, maybe she/he needs her own group, like by hereself. xoxoxo!
really? I think the chances are that girl just might possibly be on a ONE PERSON team. that's just too bad. Those clydesdales might just run right over her.
wow. I can't believe her! I can hear the stampede coming already for her
All angry sputtering over here.
I'd hang with clydesdales over b*tches any day, and not just because I AM one...
Grr....
seriously? wow. some people are totally clueless!
Did you tell her that clydesdales are men, and women are called athenas?
Sounds like she needs a beginner group, since she doesn't even know what she is talking about!
